DJ Euphonik’s Musical career
Euphonik (2003–2016)
Remixing since 2003, Euphonik originally came to light in 2004 when he collaborated with South African DJ DJ Kent to create the album Kentphonik.
Euphonik began his radio career in 2004 as a mixologist for radio shows on YFM, a regional radio station in South Africa. In 2006, the record label Soul Candi Records signed him.
Before moving to 5FM in 2006, where he hosted two weekly shows, he worked at YFM. His Saturday program, Ultimix Weekend Edition, showcased fresh tracks and mixes from DJs both domestically and abroad. The idea for the three-hour program (18:00–22:00) came from one of 5FM’s most well-liked features, the Ultimix @6, which airs on the Roger Goode show Monday through Friday. A number of the top dance artists and musicians in the world exhibit their DJ skills on the 30-minute mixes that make up the show. In 2014, the Saturday night show was canceled. His Sunday program, My House, features the newest and most well-liked house music from all over the globe.
Euphonik has performed all over the world, including in the UK, Spain, New York, Miami, Ibiza, Dubai, and Africa. He has performed on stages with Deadmau5, Louie Vega, Richie Hawtin, Nicky Romero, Avicii, Afrojack, Hardwell, and Skrillex.

Every year, the two go to Miami and Ibiza to perform at festivals like Ultra Fest Miami and the South African Miami Invasion. They were the main actors at Ultra Fest South Africa in 2014 and 2015. They also skippered the “Oh Ship” party cruise, which left Durban, South Africa, and headed for the Portuguese Island.
“Cool and Deadly,” a song Euphonik recorded in 2013 with South African DJ Fresh and Nyanda, peaked at number one on the 5FM Top 40.
He has been hosting a weekly radio program called My House on South Africa’s national radio station 5FM since 2006. The show airs on Sunday evenings.
Both the Metro FM Music Awards and the South African Music Awards have several nominations for him. He received his first accolade in 2014 when his album, For The Love of House Volume 5, took home the Metro FM award for Best Compilation Album. He received a nomination for Remix of the Year at the 2014 South African Music Awards, based on his song “Hallelujah Anyway”. He was nominated twice for a Metro FM Music Award in 2015—one for Song of the Year for “Busa” and one for Best Compilation Album for his album For The Love of House Volume 6.
